Elite Units don't show

[Totenkopf]

Hi, after getting the DLC I don't appear to have any new units. I can get Prussian grenadiers and the Spanish cavalry as the appear as part of the pre-set Prussian/Spanish custom battle armies, but I can't recruit more as they don't (along with the rest of the new units) show up at all in the infantry tab.

Couldn't find them in my campaigns either, but would I have to begin a new one for them to appear in-game?

Cheers

-Try beginning a new campaign just to be sure
-Make sure steam is up to date
-Verify integrity of game cache

Also right click etw in steam, click view dlc and make sure the units show up there as being bought.

Done and done, but not even the free patch units show...what to do!?

This is my problem btw, a new unit appears for some reason in the pre-set Army, but I can't see it in the recruitment list or any of the other new patch/DLC units.

try deleting clinetregstry.blob from streams directory. this makes steam update itself again and there was a problem with dlc not appearing that valve fixed soon after thye were released. if you let it update again mayeb it will fix it for you.

Same here, my DLC units show in customs battles but I can't recruit them in my (new) campaign...

Playing vanilla version of ETW...

Never seen something like this.

Can you mod or use Pack File Manager?

look at units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions, if you find there the new units. I mean one of them call prussia_grenadier.

The units_to_exclusive_faction_permissions is especially important as it sets which faction has access to your custom unit.

Any update on this? Just tried reinstalling it, no dice.

Really really keen to get back into ETW with these units but there seems to be no way to fix this issue.

i ve the same problem ... scheint wohl ein problem im deutschen sprachraum zu sein


@ joedreck ... what sweet units are those?


peace

 

[Maskoolin]

hey .. i just reinstalled the game (also deleted the directory with all used mods etc.) and it does work for me NOW in vanilla ... i have not tried out yet with the mods .. i will do that the following days


i suppose you reinstall it once again completely

When you delete the contents of the 'application data' make sure that you show 'hidden files and folders' before you do so.

Did anyone have mods installed before downloading the DLC?

Edited: The strange thing in the unit selection that is shown by Totenkopf is that there is clearly a 1.3 unit in the army but not in the units to be selected. The following shows what the selection looks like:

yeah it is strange .. but the same happened to me too ... i intend to say that it is a problem with mods (i.e. imperial splendour) ...

If you want to play mods and have your elite units, be ready to learn to mod. I don't believe mods can legally add the elite units to their mods as they are a seperate add-on.

ok sorry i must admit that i didnt buy the elite units .. i just had the problem with the free units .. but it also works with the mods
